Writing a good penultimate chapter is an art in tiself, and I thought this one was very, very good. Both sides are pushed against unsumurnable oods and still they can't get along. Fast paced but the ending itself was brutally tragic, Barbara's demise was deliciously ironic given she actually was one of the few vampies that seemed to at least tolerate humanity, no good deed goes unpunished seems to be the motto of this series. And the humans are finally on a somewhat good place, liked seeing Wally wanting to lend a hand no matter what. The vampire version of Wodner Woman is a menance, thought admittedly she had a point given that Damian basically went agaist everyone's will.

I thought this was going to be filler stuff and it's one of the coolest thing this Elsewrold's has done.

Liking that the change of pace hasn't really chnged the tone of the series, the scheming and dynamics are still very fun.
